    Author: Kapoor A, Radhakrishnan S, Sinha N.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 1998 Jan; 8(1):126-7. PubMed ID: 9680285.
    Abstract:
    Amongst all primary cardiac tumors, myxomas are the commonest, and their commonest site of origin is the left atrium. Myxomas originating in the left ventricle are rare. When seen, they usually present with a history of systemic embolisation and/or syncopal episodes, with constitutional symptoms being absent. We report here a child with left ventricular myxoma who presented with a prolonged febrile illness.
